Can this be done at home?

I didn't realize the price exhaust shops charge until I started calling around, anyway has anyone ever done this at home; come off a set of Hedman long tubes with the hedman s-extensions then welded on an H-pipe, then a set of bullets or something similiar to bullets then some simple turn-downs in front of the rear axle? I have a friend I can borrow a wire welder from and I've got a sawzall. Does the h-pipe line up with s-extensions. I'd like to run my pipe and mufflers down each side of my driveshaft. Is there any problems I might run into that anyone knows of?

Just a tip, if the h pipe isnt within 6 inchs of your collectors its pretty much worthless as far as power is concerned. I know this is next to impossible on our f bodies. So basically it comes out to whether you want the "cool" factor of an h pipe or just want to go ahead and put straight duals on your car.
